    Default What can I make from some blocks ?
    I have been making some 10 inch ( finished ) blocks in Christmas fabrics in reds, greens and golds.
    I don't want to make a quilt with them - so has anyone any ideas ?
    I was thinking of tablerunners and placemats - but anyone got any other ideas please ?
    Thank you.

    My first thought was the table runners/table toppers & place mats, also hot pads/trivets/candle mats and small wall hangings. Make tote bags with the blocks then you can use them as gift bags too. Set them on point and applique or fuse them to sweatshirts or put them aprons. They could be used as doll quilts too.

    Mug rugs? Doll quilts? Huge ornaments? Flying carpets for elves?

    Gift wrapping for small items with an ornament in lieu of a bow.

    How about making gift giving bags in various sizes. These don't have to have pockets just simple bags and they could be used by recipients for storing various Christmas decorations later. That is how I am going to use up my Christmas fabrics.

    The companies who make the 10" blocks often have good quilting ideas for specific sizes of blocks. Check out their websites.
